Goodnight
Paul I. Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodnight
It's time to say goodnight
Time to say goodnight
It's time to say goodnight
Darling
Oh, let me hold you tight
Let me hold you tight
It's time to say goodnight
Sometimes I feel so lost in your gaze
And I don't know which way to turn
Am I really lost?
Is there a way that I can learn to get back home?
Goodnight
It's time to say goodnight
Time to say goodnight
It's time to say goodnight
Darling
Oh, let me hold you tight




Let me hold you tight
It's time to say goodnight...

As the song continues, the singer reflects on the possibility of finding their way back to each other. The line "Is there a way that I can learn to get back home?" communicates a sense of longing and a desire to reconnect with the person they are saying goodbye to.

The chills is that america is babylon and it will be occupied in the far future with something dark and scary with so much deception that most will follow it. Whatever it is it will get here in America.
